Chapter 28: Scary White-Haired Little Girl
Although he had some understanding of Xun Qiu's temperament and knew that she was not at all associated with the four words “gentle and refined,” Jing Yi really had not expected her to speak to the Sect Master in such a way.
He didn't care about etiquette and rules, and instead thought that being more casual was good, but the Sect Master might not necessarily think so.
Jing Yi immediately became nervous although the Sect Master might not give any punishment, leaving a bad impression on a cultivator of the Upper Three Realms, the Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect, was in itself something to be anxious about.
Even if the differences in status were set aside, there was still an insurmountable gap in their strength.
Although the Immortal Alliance now managed the righteous path, who would know if their own Sect Master killed someone on her own territory, and who would hold on to such a trivial matter?
The Immortal Alliance was an organization established over a thousand years ago.
It was originally called the Righteous Path Alliance, and later the demon race joined in.
Joined, and it was renamed the Immortal Alliance.
Although its important positions were held in rotation by people from various great clans and sects, it was generally independent and was recognized by the righteous path as the police of the cultivation world.
Now, with a leader who was number one on the Heavenly Rankings, it was equivalent to a United Nations with guns, money, and an army.
Every sect would give it some face.
Xun Qiu's behavior was equivalent to going to a lawless and policeless three-no-man's-land and cursing at a gangster leader with a gun.
Ordinary people wouldn't do such a thing unless they were sincerely seeking death.
But to his surprise, their Sect Master just said a flat “oh” and then made a rather terrifying threat.
“Your things are with me.”
She still said with a blank expression, “Don't, make me unhappy, otherwise, I won't give them back to you.”
Jing Yi: “……”
Su Wantian: “……”
What kind of threat was this?
Xun Qiu was stunned:
“Really?”
The Sect Master nodded:
“Really.”
“On what grounds?”
Xun Qiu subconsciously asked back, “Those are my things, right?”
The Sect Master's logic was clear:
“You are an orphan, your senior martial sister is your temporary guardian. She sent you here, which can be considered a transfer of custody. Therefore, I am your elder, and your things can be confiscated.”
Xun Qiu was speechless.
Because she didn't understand.
What guardian, what custody, which sage's classic did these words come from?
But it didn't matter if she didn't understand.
Xun Qiu deeply realized the reality, which was that her Nameless Book was in her hands, and she couldn't beat her for the time being.
And she had always been one to bend and stretch.
“I'm sorry, I was wrong. It was I who was too impertinent and didn't know my place.”
Xun Qiu said respectfully, prostrating herself with all five limbs on the ground.
“Please, by all means, do not confiscate my things.”
The Sect Master looked at her and accepted the apology:
“Oh, then I won't confiscate them.”
She then emphasized:
“You can't make me angry in the future either.”
Xun Qiu was well-behaved:
“Definitely.”
Su Wantian, who was watching from the side, was full of the desire to complain in his heart no, how is this Sect Master different from what I imagined?
What's with this childish conversation?
Could it be that I was beaten into seeing my life flash before my eyes by that demonic beast?
Was it that long?
Jing Yi had the same feeling.
He was not very familiar with this Sect Master of his.
He had only seen her twice in total once at the entrance ceremony, and once just now.
He only knew that their Sect Master was exceptionally talented, and had been promoted to the Upper Three Realms before she was a hundred years old.
She was the number one genius in the history of the Tai Xuan Sect, second only to the founding master who had failed the tribulation and died when the connection between heaven and earth was severed thirty thousand years ago.
He only knew that this Sect Master, who held the title of “Sect Master,” basically didn't manage any affairs on a normal day and was basically in secluded cultivation in a remote courtyard.
All the major and minor affairs in the sect were handled by the Grand Elder.
Only when something major happened, such as the sect welcoming new members or holding a righteous path conference, would she show her face, but it was basically limited to showing her face.
It was just to the extent of letting the disciples know, “Oh, so we have such a person in our sect.”
So our Sect Master is also a child?
A very offensive thought popped into Jing Yi's mind.
And while the two of them were in a daze, the Sect Master who had successfully tamed Xun Qiu also looked over:
“Huh? Why are you still here?”
Jing Yi looked left and right, and hesitantly pointed at himself:
“Me?”
The Sect Master nodded slowly.
Jing Yi reacted for a moment and realized that she did seem to have given him a task but the Sect Master didn't say that he should leave, so should he leave?
Was this in accordance with etiquette?
But regardless of whether he should have left just now, he definitely should leave now.
He cupped his hands and quickly left the small courtyard, preparing to go back to the main peak of the Tai Xuan Sect to find his own unlucky master, and by the way, ask him, “I asked you to come and save people, how could you have reported the matter to the Sect Master?”
And if possible, have his master drop some spirit stones so that he could lie down for a few months and enjoy recuperating.
After sending Jing Yi away, the Sect Master shifted her gaze to Su Wantian:
“Your name is Su Wantian, Su Anyou?”
Although there were some impolite thoughts in his mind, Su Wantian still straightened his body at this moment and performed a junior's salute in a well-behaved manner:
“This unworthy one is Su Wantian. I have met the Sect Master.”
“You are very impressive.”
The Sect Master said very seriously, “I heard that you killed a demonic beast, it was a Ge Dan.”
Su Wantian didn't know the name or type of that demonic beast, but since this Sect Master had spoken, it should be correct.
He immediately cupped his hands and said:
“I am ashamed, it was not my achievement alone.”
“Mm, so the others are also very impressive.”
The Sect Master nodded, and the topic jumped, “You want to enter the Tai Xuan Sect?”
Su Wantian lowered his head and complied, without saying much.
“I heard that to join the Tai Xuan Sect, one has to look at one's root bone, comprehension, and character.”
The Sect Master frowned and recalled for a moment, as if she didn't even know what the entrance requirements for her own Tai Xuan Sect were.
“Your root bone is not very good, but, an exception can be made.”
She can tell if a root bone is good or bad just by looking?
I knew I didn't have Xun Qiu's level of talent.
Su Wantian was not too disappointed.
After all, he hadn't had much expectation for himself in the first place.
It was a good thing to be able to join the Tai Xuan Sect:
“This junior thanks the Sect Master.”
“Mm.”
The Sect Master responded, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.
Xun Qiu and Su Wantian were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Finally, they felt that she had probably finished what she had to say, so she had returned to the standby state she was in when they first entered the door.
So they boldly walked out of the door.
As expected, the Sect Master did not call them back.
So the two of them walked all the way out of the small courtyard, but they had trouble again at the small path down the mountain.
“I don't think we can walk down.”
Su Wantian said, looking at the cliff face that was close to ninety degrees and the steps that were less than a palm's width.
“Exactly, exactly.”
Xun Qiu said.
“I think maybe we can wait a bit, maybe Brother Jing we should call him Senior Martial Brother Jing now, he might come back.”
Su Wantian said again.
“I think so too.”
Xun Qiu followed.
“Why don't we just ask the Sect Master to send us to the main peak?”
“Totally possible.”
“Then you go and ask, you little follower.”
Su Wantian said with a blank expression.
Xun Qiu immediately bristled:
“I'm not going! That white-haired little girl is so scary and frightening!”
“I can't see that at all, not at all, not even a little bit, okay?”
Su Wantian complained weakly.
“You gray-haired little girl…”
The two started to argue, and the sound attracted the attention of Jing Yi, who was walking on the mountain path.
He hadn't gone far, and he turned back when he heard the sound.
He summoned a cloud and mist, and brought the two of them back to the main peak, where they found an elder who was in charge of new disciples' entrance.
The first thing to do upon entering the sect was to test the root bone.
It naturally didn't matter on Xun Qiu's side, so it was mainly to see Su Wantian.
He knew his root bone was not good, but just how bad it was, he would only know after it was tested.
